Escalator is indeed a machinery which is just being used for modern building. Without proper maintenance and repair, an escalator can turn to be extremely dangerous for the users.
Escalators are common luxury machine being used in large shopping malls, airports, office buildings, and so on. Stepping onto a moving escalator can simply ends up with tripping or falling if not hole on the hand rail. Technically, the escalator is a form of material handling machinery similar to conveyor belts, bucket elevators in factories. By design, it has limitation of use and required adequate maintenance and repair. When it fail, material on the conveyor can fall into the gaps, being crushed or fall down. That what happened in Donmuang Airport few months ago. An unlucky woman lost her leg after being dragged into a horizontal escalator.
State of Mind: Complacency is a feeling “Not thing to worry about, it is totally safe”.
This state of mind can simply switch off safety instinct. A lot of people step onto escalator without holding the hand rail. Some people run down the moving escalators.
